For the conclusion my DT Love Week, I thought this special Valentine's Day post may appeal to many of my DT readers...

Recently I came across some great wedding shots on Penn's campus of a couple who actually met at Penn. After poking around on Penn's website, I realized you can actually now get married and have your reception at Penn!

After the jump, check out some great wedding shots around Penn and learn more about how you can have your wedding reception at dear old Penn!

As undergrads, Megan Mayer Stengel (W'10) and Matt Stengel (W'10) met through the Newman Club at Penn and grew closer while both pursuing their degrees from Wharton. They both graduated this past spring in the Class of 2010 and were married on January 1st 2011. Undergrad and professional photographer Natalie Franke (C'12) took THESE beautiful shots on Penn's campus of them. Tell me you can't feel how meaningful Penn has been to this couple?

As a Penn grad you're all more than familiar with the old-world style and charm of Penn, so why not incorporate all that memorable Ivy League ambiance into your wedding day?

Perelman Quadrangle Special Events at Penn is a new sponsor of DT and I couldn't think of a more perfect fit for all of my marrying DT Penn alumni readers!

The beautiful Perelman Quadrangle (which consists of Houston Hall, Wynn Commons, Claudia Cohen Hall, Irvine Auditorium, and College Hall) gives you the opportunity to spend your special day amidst the scenery and memories of your college career; whether you met your future spouse during your stay at Penn, or if you would simply like to share the UPenn campus with your loved one in a special way, a wedding at Penn is a fantastic way to solidify the University into your life as a married couple.

Perelman Quadrangle offers gourmet catering options and full service audio visual in an array of venues for ceremonies, receptions, rehearsal dinners, engagement parties, and showers.

Not only do the receptions in the video below look beautiful, but there certainly can be great nostalgia and sentiment having your wedding at Penn!
